This and that

I love flowers, love love love!! They are so quick and easy! I've been making them out of all my scraps that I having laying around. There will be more coming too, I am gonna be putting them on EVERYTHING! My poor girls are going to be covered lol!!

And I just wanted to show off my bird's nest necklace. I think I need to pick up some more copper wire, and maybe some pearls for the eggs..or do you like the blue eggs? I think it would look good out of a silver wire as well, maybe the copper and blue is too literal? I think that maybe I overthink lol.

I get to go fabric shopping tomorrow YAY!! (The closest fabric store is like 2.5 hrs away!)

Flower Clippies

Here is probably the easiest tutorial ou there. Lots of people have them, and really, these are one of those things that you can really put your own spin on.
Step 1:

Find some synthetic fabric- natural stuff won't work. I used an old satin shirt. Cut out circley type shapes. No need to be exact (unless you want to), you can experiment with different shapes if you want. I prefer circley-ish shapes but power to ya.

Step 2:

Find a candle, lighter or some sort of fire source :) and singe the edges of your circles. The fabric will curl and you can play around with it until you are happy with how it looks. Repeat for all your circles. I also like to singe it a bit in the middle, it helps it look flowery.

Step 4: Stack 'em. Simple right, you can glue each layer down or hand sew them together, either way stack 'em until you like your flower.

I sewed mine together and used a button in the center- could easily just glue it down instead. Now glue it to a ribbon lined clip and

VOILA

Sorry for the blurry pic, it looks much cuter in person, I've also used these flowers on shirts and as brooches. Have fun and let me know how it goes :)
